no, exept if you want to be attacked by mounted dwarfs, i think there is no way to have fortressdwarfs mount anything.

Except that you could have invading dwarves ride stuff.
Not that that's likely to matter.

Humans ride horses

Elves ride unicorns

Goblins ride crocodiles

Dwarves ride MINECARTS!

well I can get mounts to work but it's a mix bag of
A(setting up the mount controls)
B(setting up the get off commands)
C(realizing that Toady added in minecarts and those are way more fun to ride around than mounts.)

You could use the curses to change a dwarf into another creature called "mounted dwarf" at a stable by dropping a boiling stone with the curse. Then at the end of the curse poof dwarf is back and mount is gone because......the dwarf rode it to death.

the combat log would then be like
'The Axegolbin slashes the mounted Axedwarf in the right front leg of his mount with his iron halberd, shattering the bone!'

I was thinking along similar lines for an ultima mod, but with the thing that turns you into a mounted creature being an interaction from a creature, like a horse.

Maybe that the dwarves never died and everyone is just shunning them.

Why not just make a custom Dwarf (Dwarph, Dworf, etc)?
